NKF boss got cheebye 12-months bonus!!!!

KNNBCCB!!! I just read the newspaper that the boss of the National Kidneys Foundation earn $25,000 one month, and last 3 year got 10 to 12 months bonus!!!

Yao jiu ling ling your chao chee bye lah!

This mean that one year, his salary is 500k to 600k, ok?

I do not hate charity organisation, I think people must help other poor and sick people. But fuck lah, you mean when on the tv the people who earn $1000 a month donate and the number on the NKF tv show jump $100,000 to $200,000 to $300,000..... when reach $600,000 of donation, is only cover this CEO salary?

No wonder Zoe Tay have to do so many cheebye stunt!!!

12 fucking months bonus is a lot ok? Some people don't even smell 1 month bonus but he charity boss get 12 months? Lan cheow, ok?!!!

And his one month salary 25k (not yet count the bonus) is more than many of my friends earn in one cheebye year!!! And my friends donates to his charity ok?

Wah, sue the Singapore newspaper for their article, then now kena the whole world know your top secret salary. It is like score own goal, man. Want to sue the Singapore newspaper not so easy, ok? Singapore newspaper is the most kuai lan and richest and powerfulest company in the world, and their reporters is bullet-proof one, you also dare to fuck. See lah? Now kena fuck back.

You ask all the opposition party people who ever try to sue Singapore newspaper before to show you their backside hole. You will see that their holes is very big and now they fart no sound already, because their backside kena fuck by Singapore kuai lan newspaper.

I also read this NKF fucker use the charity money fly first class aeroplane. You are charity company boss, have to fly where for fuck? Other country want to donate to you issit? And even if fly, cannot fly by economy ah? Your backside sitting that first class seat is paid by working people's donation, ok?

I think if continue like this, all those NKF charity tv show stunt also not enough. I think have to call the Zoe Tay and the Fiona Xie and the other TCS star to take off their clothes and suck cock on tv!!! Then maybe can collect enough money for the kidney patients plus this fucker salary and his first class tickets.

And maybe first prize is win a car, a condom house, and one fuck from Fann Wong! Hahahahahaha!!!!

Consolation prize can be those not so famous star like Sharon Au and Ann Kok suck your kok!! Hahahahahaha!!!

Yes, boy boy, papa not making a lot of money, but never mind, we have to donate help those poor kidney patient, children patient and cancer patient, and also make sure the NKF boss get his 12 month bonus.

I take my hat off to Davinder Singh. If you read the court proceedings throughout, it seems clear that Mr Durai was so (intellectually?) overwhelmed by Mr Singh's wordsmithing that he came across very poorly indeed.

But there is always a tendency in the heat of revelations and proceedings to assume a lynch mob mentality and that is exactly what this forum is degenerating to. It's sad. Challenge me if you want!

you have a point there. honestly, for obvious reasons ST didnt mention a thing about Durai's defence. (like what rockson pointed out...funny how he sued and kena shit instead...) so we dun really know the FULL story.

anyway, point is, NKF is cash rich and funds are misused. if NKF thinks that is not true and ST inaccurately reported it, they can always sue the papers AGAIN.

btw, report today says they have funds to last them at least 4 decades. in that case, let's see if anyone will still donate at tonight's and future shows.

my guess is, they will. why? for the lucky draw prizes. see what NKF has done to corrupt the spirit of giving?

Lets do this together, stop ALL donations, make sure NKF sack him and get someone who is not as mercenary!!!

I am really glad this came to light, for years I have been telling ppl about this but no one believes me!!! Anyway, I have stopped donating to NKF years ago, I rather give my money to beggers along the road or temples.

I called my bank this morning to stop the monthly GIRO deduction by NKF. I don see why I should be donating my hard-earned monies when the chief is flying first class, and yes, me aint even smelling one month's bonus.

besides all the blankety blankety blank blank, I totally agree with you!!!! That blankety blank blank really deserves to be BLANKED!!! He is a the biggest blankety blank blank i have even blankety seen!!!!!

a relative's fren approached nkf big boss for donating money so as to organise some charity project, nkf big boss quoted "im only interested in pple donating me $$, wan to to donate pple $$, im not interested!"....well... commoners, we know wat to do next rite?

Actually from the first day i saw their million dollar glass NKF building that looks like one of those in Shenton Way, I have felt that this don't looks like a charity foundation building, Salvation Army in which i find it more trustworthy would be humble enough to take over a old school compound.

They would hv use this money for better use, from there on i have already know this looks more commercial than any charity events, just that not much pple listen to my advice....

Fwah that motherfucker lao cheebye Durai cheat money until like that. I think those mothercheebye who still wetting their beak must kena hor kao kan. I think a lot of the board member also earn a lot... maybe 300 or 400 K. Eh! can buy 2 or 3 WRX a year leh! PUAH HUM!

Humble old compound = trustworthy? million dollar glass building = unreliable? Reflects the maturity of public's perception of charities here in Singapore. That you must look shabby and sound poor and BEG to be considered honest. FYI, the building was entirely donated by 5 entities and tailored according to their preference considering it's their money. (Shaw Foundation, Lee Foundation, Mr Tay Choon Hye,Singapore Buddhist Welfare Services & Singapore Pools)

yea and i heard they actually sued a blogger for defamation previously. These motherfucking toots. justice finally prevails. did you ever donate to them before? my gawd. gold tap and all. and that stupid stuck up face. 600k is peanuts? damn siao za boh and ta boh.

hello people, reports in the papers are way too one-sided. Why? Because SPH controls what goes into the papers! The only people who are going to suffer will be the patients and their family members. Think twice before you set the verdict. Listen to NKF's side of story first

quick quick,go to that nkf building now and say that in front of that durian,no point saying so big here.once you got caught liao,then i can start to write my blog on title '' gong kia kana eat bread behind bar now ''

he is just the shitass fall guy...the rest of the organisation approved everything and went along dun 4get. why do u think everything stop in 2 days? sSo many more cans of worms to open so better shut case now. Question is , who will continue to open the rest? As for quiksilver...this is just about the most benign lynch mob i'v read about. yes this is the mob. where's the lynchin? We judge him only in words but no one has nor can take any real lynch actions. Wish someone would

Someone go ask RSP the consultants who did their Building. Spent few hundred thousand to use highest class imported tiles and flooring. 1 person came in and saw everything , said not nice, so wrecked everything to rebuild, paid for the Variation Order, no bargaining. half a mil gone there. This is true.

Only 80% of all $ collected by NKF from donations goes to the patients. The other 20% goes to adminstration.

Lets do the sums,

TT Durai's salary is presumably $600k a year + 12 months' bonus. That will work out to $1.2m a year for his salary alone.

Let's say all his other staff's annual salary add together equals his annual salary + bonus. That's $2.4m on salary alone. What about office rentals, overheads, publicity, ads, blah blah blah... let's assume all these add up to $6m a year (about $500k a month).

So, $1.2m + $1.2m + $6m = $8.4m a year.

Then they must have some savings, otherwise where does the money come from to build the NKF building, which probably cost about $100-200m to build. Let's say they have a positive equity of $1.6m a year (just to round up the figure).

$8.4m + $1.6m = $10m

If 20% = $10m100% = $50m

NKF collected from donations of up to $50m a year

This obscene amount of money is not usually associated with charitable, non-profit organization, but drug dealers... and to splurge 2.4% (1.2/50 * 100) of these collection on their CEO alone (not counting benefits like company car, travel allowance, etc),

think we shouldn't personally attack the CEO..the whole NKF prganisation is at fault..esp the board members...they prob earn around the same..if not more..anyway the majority of us, when put in his shoes, would prob take the $25,000 salary and 12 months bonus offered by the board and shut up...so dont be so hypocritical

comon man we can forget about donating anymore to this stupid organisation and people are withdrawing thier monthly donations lo get graffiti on their walls serve them right !hope that bloody durian kana sue and land in the fuking jail!

Sorry to say this...but NKF's patron is Mrs Goh Chok Tong right? Did you not read in the papers that she said 600K is peanuts...so as long as NKF has such powerful people backing them in their wrong acts, we are still gonna see lots of money abuse...

Even with the CEO digging his own grave by suing SPH and generated all the bad publicity, there will still be lots of people "donating" to NKF. Look at the prizes they are offering, it's better and more attractive than Singapore Pools!! To them, it's "gambling" and not "donating"

To the humble uncle/auntie who won and give the prizes back, that is truely "donating"

i fully afree on what this guy has to say about NKF, even Professionals will defenitely side on what he has just voiced out ( although it may be not so fluent) For all those who disagree with this post...i suggest you find out more about NKF, they are TRUELY sucking our people's money. This are taxpayers money...who in the world uses the people's money to fly 1st class? it is totally absurd and uncalled for.

Look at the amount of money they collect, and the amount of money that goes to the patients are LESS than what the employees get there. Stunts maybe ok for entertainment and such...but hey come on....there ARE SO MANY prizes to be won, and whose money are they gonna use to pay for these? Yes bingo...the people's money again.

And NKF says they reserve the rights NOT to reveal how or what they used the money for? Get the idea now? Look at how NKF make poor school children and working adults pay from their CPF/donation cards when they gain nothin from it and the CEO gain everything from it. Yes it may be charity but i will prefer helping KDF or other charity organisation. Charity is not for people to ERAN money but to HELP.

SO people who wanna rebuke this post and think it as zero value...GET UR FACTS RIGHT FIRST...don't act MATURED and think you know it all

Maybe we should Probe all the Charity Organisation's Salary... lol... I heard NKF always throw stuff that could be newer than like 3 months, just because they are ugly... that's wat i heard before... I was disappointed by wat Mrs goh say by saying 600,000 is peanuts... just like wat WHO says, 1 Dollar might be enough to feed one child for one day. if like tat how many children can we save?

haha quiksilver agitated so easily...i'm not challenging anyone, i am just stating a fact, you are just angry over an internet post, i suggest you find something better to do :) well if mine is absolute zero, i think yours is..negative already~? and aren't you wasting space too? (although i agree i wasted a bit more haha GET A LIFE DUDE)

Next time, we cannot be so nice and generous. The Durai is one big F*** and NKF too. Me angry oso. 600K is peanuts? Maybe tat Mrs GOH dint really realise that there are many people in SG oso suffer cuz money no enuff to pay bills, pay children fees... Haiyoh. Talk like got no brain like that.

"why are you people so fuss about only $600,000 salary?" .... by quiksilver

Quiksilver, it is not we are so fuss about his pay .... it is because those monkeys said

(1) reserves for only 3 years, please donate more! ... bullshit because reserves were enough for 30 years

(2) staff never travel 1st class ..... bullshit because donation money was used for top class travel

(3) nkf people ganged up to bully 2 people, one of them a VOLUNTEER ok, and threaten don't know how many .... when they knew all along that (1) & (2) were lies and they were all the time lying and preventing people from getting info until SPH got info through court action.

Quiksilver, pls Look around you. How many poor people. Do you know what SG$10 means for some people? This is charity we are talking about. HARD EARN MONEY. If he wan to earn 600k, go be a CEO in other company...

Ya... I damn agree with what you guys are saying... that Mrs Goh... Peanuts????? I was full of respect for Mr Goh... I think she's either senile or what... Siao... If she can say this... then I think her peanuts is more.. maybe chestnuts liao... kia lat man... walau... I'll never ever donate ever ever ever to NKF again.. so what about the prizes.. who knows.. it's for the NKF staff or family members man..

hey quiksilver. go get a life la. either you are one nkf staff or maybe his friends or whatsoever... go fuck spider la...

and by the way... i love Davinder Singh.. He's cool man!!! probe probe probe.. make that durian thinks he is confident liao.. then he shoot "then the taps?" hahaha.. i read the papers today and i laughed out loud on the train...

A million dollar organisation CEO being paid 600k is peanuts? Its damn true. But come to think of it. NKF is a charity organisation. The $ it have its not by ways thru business or investment. Its by begging. Begging people who have $1 more to spend to donate.

IF 600k to you were peanuts. can i ask you. How many peanuts you donate? I am astonish that the wife of one of our leaders say smething like this.

thru out our life.. how many of us can make 600k?

how many of u are getting 1.5mth bonus and already killing chicken and thank god? while he then donate and contribute to smebody else 12mths bonus.

this uproar simply shows how stupid we have been all this yrs..

and if only the CEO is getting 600k pa. then plus the other staff workin inside, how many more 600ks are spend on employing other staff?

whatthehell, to have the gold taps and toilet bowls... erm.. let me see.. i know i know!!! so that when he pass motion, he hopes and prays that his shit will become gold then can melt the gold and sell and donate the shit gold money to NKF mah... aiyo... this one you also need to ask???

frankly... i will stop my donations liao.. it's not cos i am heartless and doesn't want to help the kidney patients... but hey.. their reserves can last more than 30 years.. forget it la.. if i donate some more, don't know it's for another gold mat, or gold frame bed.. sad.. :o(

sis.. you know hor.. haiz... some more i donated so much... damn it man... and our monies are call peanuts????? oh my god... WHERE IS GOD???

did anyone notice tat the tv flash always 1900.....6888, tat number is 8 times of 5 loler.. i only wanted to donate 5 loler n press tis stupid number and kana billing $46++ . called singtel n they said cannot reverse n $5 shd dial xxx6855, fedup i said nvr in my life use phone to donate. i read other charity org like ren ci when pple called to ask 4 reversal, they kindly agreed... wah i kana koo-tok and luckily my giro got enuff monie otherwise i cannot pay my pub bill and then tap open no water, dun talk abt gold tap lah..

i heard that there is a website for people to sign to force tat fucking NKF boss to resign de.. i heard that the toilet bowl n tap in his office toilet cost $1000-$3000... when the lawyer asked dun u think it's too expensive? he said not at all.. and the total NKF funds can use up to 30 years, NKF say only 3 yrs nia.. he explained.. he gotta lie to the masses in order to achieve more donations.. 30 years le!!! plz help deal with this asshole n get rid of him.. thx.. -zw

Our side we pay $5 $10 $5 $10 to help patients and so fucking happy we got help the TV numbers rise increase .... 100K .... 300K .... 600K ..... we never got know that onli enuff for the monkey's pay .... phone somemore to reach 650K .... we never got know onli manage to take care of 1st class air tickets .... must phone somemore so can pay for the fucking 8 cars plus 1 merc .... what the fuck still not yet got enuff money reach the patients .... what the fuck man!

Monkeys on the other side keep taking all the peanuts ..... they calling our $5 $10 $5 $10 not even worth peanut shells until reach 600K then worth some peanuts what the fuck!

Mrs Marie Antonette Goh really fucked it up this time..Didn't she realise that more than 90% of the population never even see $600,000 in their life time? PEANUTS?? Get real..Madam... stop opening yr BIG mouth without thinking..it is like your singing soprano off tune...

You better watch out, You better not call, you better not give, I'm telling you why - Dirty Durai is coming to town. He tells u that's no money, He tells u he is broke, He tells you treatment are on hold, BUT he needs a tap of gold, hey! You better resign, You better pack up, You better be sorry, You can do harikiri, DIRTY DURAI WE GONNA GET YOU!

Haha... lol... good one man!http://www.petitiononline.com/mod_perl/signed.cgi?nkfs&401

I seriously wonder why Mrs Goh can make a pea-brainer comment like that? Can't she understand the feelings of Singaporeans who have been led up the garden path by NKF and T T "chee bye" Durai? Digusted by the whole saga.

oh god this is such an apt post... i tink $600K a year is such an obscene figure... if part of the money can be channeled out to serve its original purpose (saving kidney patients), it'll make a whole lot of difference!

Haiz.. wanted to read more of the petitions.. too bad.. the more i read, the sadder i become... really hurting, disappointing and sad. it's such a revulsion news. i feel so betrayed by them. and our Mrs SM has to add in that peanuts... it's so distasteful... Do you think Mr Goh will reprimand his wife about this? Peanuts? Oh my God...

I will write in and ask for only half a peanut. Erm.. I won't be so bad to fly SQ first class. Do they have first class in Valueair or Jetasia? I'm more considerate hor... erm.. I won't want the gold taps nor toilet bowls.. I will just request for crystal studded toothbrush.. i think this way.. NKF reserve funds can last for 50-60 years... hor hor hor...??? ya.. i'll write in tomorrow...

Your entry makes me laugh in the light of all these atrocities commited by these white collar people.

I share your same sentiments though and something needs to be done to cleanse the NKF. What was more disappointing was Mrs. Goh's remark that $600,000 was peanuts. It was totally unwise of her to say that. Expect more backlash in the next few days.

And no, I won't want Durai to be my Godfather cos he was not the one who said $600k is peanuts. It's Mrs SM. Thus, I may consider to ask Mrs SM to be my godmother. Then maybe she will not only give me peanuts, but groundnuts, chestnuts, coconuts, hazelnuts.

wonder how this got pass the authorities 'eyes', maybe durai is paying enough income tax to shut any investigations.

As a chinese saying, when the top is crooked, same goes for the bottom. Singapore is run as SG Inc, so these people are just taking cue from the people running SG Inc, else how to justify the high pay.

i am utterly disappointed by the comment from such a high profile person saying the pay is peanuts (if true), this isn't the same as a corporation, but a non-profit organization to save lifes.

Its DISGUSTING, REVOLTING, and UTTERLY DISAPPOINTING that an employee of a NON-PROFIT, CHARITABLE organisation can actually draw $25,000 a month, and that his bonus can reach 12 MONTHS. Lim peh don't even earn $25k a year leh! Nao hia!

To be envious of such a paycheck is one thing, but KNN, it just doesn't look morally right to be earning this kind of money rite?? This money was donated by the public out of goodwill for the good of kidney patients, not for the extravagance of gold-plated taps or first class seats (nevermind if they cost less than a bloody business-class seat in SQ)...

Its really sad lah... the only victims in this story will be the beneficiaries of NKF... if donations drop this year, skarli NKF use this as an excuse to cut back on subsidies for kidney patients... then that will be lagi jialat.

Bo pian lah... want to donate, find another charitable organisation to do so lah. Sigh.

Eh, frankly speaking, whoever this stupid joker is who is challenging people to discuss this matter in another forum, I say, FUCK OFF lah. Why? Are you so hum ji that you need people to go elsewhere to "challenge" your bleddy pathetic ideas? If you want to inflate that pathetic ego of yours go inflate it somewhere else.

Ladies and Gentlemen, please do not get angry, get even. He is not the only one in charitable organisation to get that kind of pay. Clip their wings. If they have enough money to last them 3 decades, even if ppl do not donate they will still be able to help ppl. But please remember there are alot of smaller organisation out there that need that kind of money and these smaller organisation might be the what you guys are searching for.

The more i read.... the more i cannot take it anymore... Fire is burning!!!! I have made some donations to NKF every mth for the last couple of yrs.. No doubts on and off i did hear some negative things about NKF, but that never bother me at all... now i really pity the patients, but i thing justice needs to be done, THE MAMA DURIAN IS REALLY TOO MUCH!!!!He likes to SUE people, look back... i can recalled few ppl kean SUED by him until their pants dropped... no know got bankrupt...

This is what Chinese call "bao Yin", retribution!!! Now is his turn... continue to sue..HAHA!!! want ot sue SPH!!! SPH man!!! He thinks SPH is Ah Pig or Ah Dog!!! Come to think of it, he wants to deter ppl to badmouth him, to frighten them off... so he can receive his peanuts salary!!!!Yes i agree what our Dear Mr Goh's comment... she can says whatever things she like... She is MRS GOH!!!! Singapore is a "free country", you are free to give you speech as long as don't get sensitive issues like religion involved. You can go to Hong Lim Park to give free speech also hor!!!

Perhaps to her $600k is really paenuts, i really wondering how much is she getting paid each year, if she says $600k is peanuts!!! She may consider donate some of her peanuts to NKF also, ther are so many patients needs $$$$, give them some peanuts lah!!!

I will call up the bank to cancel my donation tmr, my small contribution.. my next next next life... also cannot afford a small "PEANUTS". I reaspect respect our SM Goh greatly...but to my disappointment, instead of doing someting about this outrage issue....she said "$600k IS PEANUTS!!!" HAHAHAHAHA!!! What a joke!!!!

Lagi cannot tahan!!! The MaMa Durian, he is using NKF's Mercedes!!!! Mercedes OK!!! not Hyundai...not Nissan, not Toyata ok!!! for his family members to use... only those without license cannot use lah!!!! NKF is paying for everything.. maintenance, petrol etc... this is what newspaper reported... i cannot anyhow said one ok... I am so scared the next one kena sue by NKF will be me... "Disclaimer", better keep the newspaper cutting i guess!!!!

NKF is an Charitable organisation!!! NOT Banks, SPH etc!!! NKF is receiving $$$$$ from the public!!! Many ppl might not be able to earn enough to buy a PEANUTS for the rest of their lifes... yet they are kind enough to donate to NKF!!! Public's money, must screwtinise ma... now someone kena screw liao!!!!

This is the first time i really salute SPH, tot they only speak for the govt... now the PEANUTS comment no know issit by mistakes!!! Hope the reporter will not be screwed!!!!!

I think the MaMa Durian "xiong du ji shao", hope he quit his job ASAP, if not kena force to leave worse!!! Perhaps he can start sending his job application, resume to other private sectors, like banks, big listed companies, be the CEO, he can make 100 PEANUTS... we also LanLan, nothing to say, LL, but don't come to Rob ppl's money, hey wake up man, this is cahrity lei!!!

He can also send his resume to SPH, heard they are paying qutie well lei!!! Not 10-12 mths boonus, but at least few months... above market rate!!! Better not, if not the 2 hero reports will loose their job......

i sacrifice my sleep.... now so late already, must get up early in the morning, got meeting so more... but after reading all these.. what is that few hrs of sleep!!! Hope later i will dream of owning many peanuts..... peanuts.... peanuts....$$$$$... but not our Dear Mrs Peanuts!!!! What a joke!!!! Enjoy man!!! Cheers...

Dtn u know something? Mdm GCT's wife has commented Durai's 600K is a peanuts....damn...she has no brains....how many ppl in SG able to earn 600K....so call that a peanuts? I think her brain is also a peanuts....

Think he deserves the $600k for building up NKF to what it is today. Can anyone slandering him build up a charity to this kind of presence? If you can, continue lambasting. If not, shut up and don't cast the first stone. no one is forcing you to donate if you don't want to. at the end of the day, remember its the kidney patients that both NKF and us are trying to help, we shouldn't lose sight of that

Even former NYSE Chairman Dick Grasso had the decency to resign amidst the debacle regarding his pay package. The NKF's CEO and entire Board should be removed. There has to be a better system of checks and balances in place. This whole thing is a shame. As are Mrs Goh Chok Tong's unwarranted comments.

haha...i keep laughing at all the comments...u know wat dat black sheep wants to hv his grave covered in peanuts dats y...peanut brain says dat 600k is peanuts...more like raisins sia...maybe if durai sack as NKF BALLS,he can be "kacang putih man"...I am having a hard time to keep my balls in tact coz everthing is so expensive here...the poorer gets poorer...the richer becomes an asshole...maybe he shd wipe his ass wif sandpaper n feel whether his raisins are still there..make a move to sue the papers n u get peanut butter covered all over u...n frm the news he still get a standing ovation for wat???showcasing his nuts is it???

Wah lau!!! Dunno what the fuck the Durian is thinking in suing SPH. He was suing people for what - insinuation towards NKF misusing the public donations. His own backyard got so many problems and discrepancies... At least prepare properly first lah...don't look like idiots....not say Davinder's questions were unexpected. Perhaps Durian has been on top for too long - too cocky and overconfident.

Now I see people appealing for continuation of donations to NKF... reasoning that the patients may die without our donations. I mean come on!!! The reserves can last for 30 years!! Which brings a point on why is Durian still raising funds for? Is his salary, bonuses and perks tied to the amount of funds raised? Hmmm......

I personally have no problems in tying remuneration with performance.......that is the way an organisation should be run to motivate people.......BUT this has to be in line with the organisation's mission and this is a CHARITY organisation with *gasp* a 30 year reserve. This is going way overboard.... the money can really be better used in other Charity organisations. No wonder I see so many people begging for donations along Orchard Road.

my opinion is to remove the whole board not oni the CEO...how can they approve such expenditure when a lot of patients are waiting just to get some fund subsisdy...If they wnt get such high high salary ask them not to work for charities lor....we the public wnt a cheaper group of board for NKF so that NKF can help more patients..

ask urself... can u comment so much solely on wat u noe? all infos we got r frm the media n nkf IS fightin the most powerful media controller in sg, SPH... surely they'll take out wat they feel the readers dun nid to noe. u dun noe hw hard durai worked to get nkf to wat it is nw... unless u noe stories frm both sides, i dun tink u got the right to critise..

Not in defense of the NKF CEO, definitely, but the real victims that has lost so much because of insatiable and immoral man of such, it makes us human beings look so bad. I don't find a least bit of humour in this blog, unfortunately. Call me a party pooper, but at least i would express my anger and disgust in a more bureaucratic way.

reserves to last 30 yrs? how they calculate? total reserve divide by wat the patients r nt paying? What about the cost of maintainin the dialysis machine and the dialysis centers? electric bill? chemicals? needles? so simple ah! crazy... if so simple then the govt wud have a dialysis programme before the start of NKF loh...

Yes, I dun deny that Durai may have contributed to achieve what NKF is today but still, is it neccessary to spend $900+ on a what, TAP??! The same kind od water comes out even if u install a $20 tap! And Durai has already ADMITTED that he spent almost $1K just on a bloody tap and to him that's not expensive! Then SPH is not slandering him what!

Think we are all just made fools!Whenever the fund-raising shows are coming to an end, some of us might feel happy for NKF that Oh, they have achieved their target again this year and there are so many kind-hearted people out there!

But to NKF staff at the end of the show is: Oh Yeah! We can have another 12 months bonus again this year!!! (Or maybe more since their target increases every year..... Hah!)

Bloody kuku! When we apply jobs just tell them u expecting to be paid peanuts, see who will hire you~ Freaking no brains, shows as you age mouth can't say what your brain is thinking, like dat better shuddup!

Wonder if durian made a gold pole to stick it up he's ass to ease he's constipation....

ppl fucking oredi dying there with kidney failure and he got the fucking cheek to enjoy high pay.may all the gods punish him with eternal troubles and hardship!may him be strike by thunder and fall into the deepest sea with hungry sharks.

His salary dollar for dollar is comparable to those of a listed company here in Singapore or even the US.

People should consider if they would like to continue to donate to the NKF...it supports 2000 or so patients...Singapore population is 4 million, among these how many are sick in need of help but only take what they can afford..which in Singapore can be very little.

Healthcare costs in Singappore is not very expensive neither is it very cheap. Charities can help to alleviate some hardship faced by these families where govt subsidies can only cover so much.

The NKF case should be used as an example for other charities to be more transparent....i will not make any statements about other charities but we should demand for more transperency from all charity org. while we cannot expect their employees to eat grass, sipping champgane and eating caviar in first class is certainly a perk that may need to be reviewed.

If NKF decides to pay 1 million a year or a dollar a year to its CEO or other directors it should make it public. If the public so decides that it is happy to part with this amount then it is with full info.

Public listed companies have to share with share holder details about salary(of CEOs and directors at least), share options etc, a public listed company exist for profit and share holder buy stock to reap that profit.

NKF uses public funds from people who will not see a single cent of their money except for a few lucky punters who win prizes. Shouldn't money from people's generosity and kindness meant to help be handled more carefully?

Oiii, me Lawrence, who used my name??? I admit that Rockson is my kind, express feelings with appropriate words..... but we are different person with same "channel"... hehehe. Rockson, way to go man!!!! COOL!!!!

NKF CEO receives a lot of money, yes he is Indian, but calling him black, dark etc brings the anger to another level, i just read thru all the comments after making the earlier post,(just after genocide"s) I am what Chinese people call black Oper etc, sadly we share common ground about the misguided salary and perks but further than that i seem to be on my own, i mean his actions were not a result of his ethnic background, he probably asked for the salary and powers at NKF decided to give it to him, no hiding involved...maybe because all the powers there had similar perks.

His salary his perks etc have nothing to do with him being Indian, malay or chinese....

it be nice to see in 2005 when singaporeans become color blind but i guess i may have to wait much longer than that.may be another 60 years or so.

anyway post just food for thot, i dun think words can change base racist emotion etc, everyone needs their security blanket and if calling him names becuz of his color make folks happy then more power to you.

Firts of all, your blog rocks!! Finally somone who knows how to speak his mind.What is wrong with Singapore. Where is the integrity that we keep pledging every morning at school. Did we all lose it once we've become adults. Is it true there is only honour among thieves?

Is this the mature Singapore evryone is boasting about? There is a lot to think about. We used to think the people who help others are our role models. Does that come with a Merc and golden taps. Who can we look up to, everywhere in the world people are lending their voice, effort and money to help the poor who can't even pay for cough syrup for their children who has TB. And here, in developed Singapore, we have daylight robbery, from the poor no less. Sometimes as a nation we have gained more but know less.

Mrs Goh is such the example! Singaporeans are we better than this. Prove to yourselves that you are!

Let's see... I may not be a highly educated person like others, but I do know what is wrong and right.

Let me put it this way, a top management should know the way of managing a charitable and non-profitable organisation. They should manage the finance of the co. carfully with all the donation funds which comes from ppl.

Let me ask you these?1. Does the buildings (HQ and other outlets, I do know that H.L did made a contribution on one or a couple of outlets, very kind of them to help out) construction cost, renovations comes from the donations as well?2. Are all equipements and medications fees from the fund? (understandable, because this is what we all wanted to help and the purpose of doing so) Ok /or/ agree with this point?3. Does all the employees and top managements salary, bonus and daily expenses(operation) comes out from the fund as well?4. Does it make sense for a top management to get a year's bonus? What I understand from it is that , top managements only get profit sharing. But since this is a non-profitable organisation, should they not be getting the bonus or profit sharing??? Even if they really were to be given "a token of appreciation" for what they have done for the organisation, should they be restricted to 1 or 2 months of bonus( or there is a cap of max 5mths)?5. If the person is earning that amount of $$$$$$, please do not forget, there will be a yearly salary increment. What will the person get next? 6. Isn't it wrong management skill for the top management to employed/engaged such a high cost employee to manage the non-profitable organisation instead of managing the fund carefully, which they just splurge it like that? 7. If the employees payrolls and daily operation expenses have to be included into the fund, then they should be crystal clear about the funds, dont you think so? I do understand that they(the nurses and doctors) also need to have a fix salary for a living, but employed such a high cost managment, is unreasonable.

After all, they should be careful of spending the funds. Another thing to mention about is that those "tai tai" they are also doing the charity work, but they don't get paid. They could just go out for shopping, play majong, dress nice nice, go holidays, go for a nice high-tea etc etc. Why is it that they want to help people who needs help? why should they get themselves busy and not being paid to do the job? So does this mean that they should claim their salaries or transportation and meal expenses for what they have work for?

The conclusion is, they do really have management problem. Bad management indeed.....

No doubt with this issue going on, but still we have to give credits to the nurses, doctor and volunteers workers. They really have done a great job for the patients.

A 65 old Auntie earns $600 every month, She cleans urinals & sometimes, scrub off the dunk. She spends only $550 on her daily needs, Her $50 goes to N#F to repay the society. What she don't know is who gets her money, It goes to pay for someone's road tax & Synergy. Her month's pay can't even afford the golden tap, So, do you think that CEO deserve a tight slap?

Then a well known lady came out to talk to the papers, She says 600K is peanuts for someone of his calibre. She even asked the poor donors, "What's the fuss?"Tell this to the donors who can only afford to take the bus ,Tell them their money is used to pay for his air fare, 1st class somemore, ask if themselves have been there? Their money was hard earned with blood and sweat, Now the truth is out, imagine how many eyes will be wet.

To think it is alright to abuse the people's money,I lost my respect for her and questions her integrity.Now my story comes back to the 65 year old Auntie,When you try to relief yourself, she continues with her routine.What a nuisance you thought, she don't care if you are peeing,She is oblivious that you are in the loo and having difficulty.All she knows is to work hard and make sure she got enough to give to charity,This is my new found respect for our Toilet Cleaning Auntie.............
